[Fwd: Re: <VV> Gas prices (no Corvair)]

[Eric Kirven]

  How many of you know how many gallons in a barrel of oil?. How about 
all the taxes you pay per gallon? Do we have a God given right to drive 
vehicles that get 10 miles per gallon at 75 miles per hour? We waste 
fuel and wonder why we have to pay so much. When the gas crunch hit in 
the 70's Carter dropped the highway speed limit to 55. Asked people to 
conserve. We showed we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil. We 
bought oil for $5 a barrel for so long we think we deserve it. Are you 
going to buy their sand when their oil runs out?  

Then there is the issue of trying to get permits to build new 
refineries. Most people want to drive, but don't want a refinery 
anywhere near them.  

My daily driver is a 2003 Honda because I saw this coming back then. Is 
there U.S. car that gets averages 35 mpg?
